Say goodbye to the mundane, and hello to parenting with pizzazz! 

Let’s explore 10 ways to boost your toddler's development.

Measuring Moments and Apple Heights

Who needs a ruler when your child can measure their height with apples or check how many Lego blocks tall the couch is?

Throw away the textbooks, and turn your living room into a mathematical paradise.

Household Hide-and-Seek with Labels

Label the fridge or windows and watch your toddler play detective.

The household turns into a learning playground, with your child starting to identify words and the madness of adult life.

From supermarket color hunts to home-based scavenger hunts, this activity is sure to keep both of you on your toes.

Finding the orange juice can be a wild adventure!

Town Tours and Sesame Street

Teach your child about their neighborhood using handy index cards.

Who knew a dry cleaner could be as exciting as a zoo trip?

Sing-Along Learning

Create catchy tunes about counting or the alphabet, singing your way through chores.

Make bath time a concert!

Calendar Craze and Morning Maths

A DIY calendar can teach your child about the days of the week and the magic of numbers.

If your morning coffee doesn’t wake you up, this math session will!

Family Tree Frenzy

Pin up family photos and see your child's memory skills bloom.

Not to mention the hilarious nicknames that might emerge.

Junior Meteorologist

Let your child draw the day's weather, becoming a junior meteorologist.

Just remember to keep the real weather updates handy for your wardrobe choices.

Mom Hack

Double layer sheets.

Mom Hack

This isn't always necessary, but it's a handy hack during times of sickness or for those dealing with a spit-up-prone infant.

Simply layer a waterproof sheet, a regular sheet, followed by another set of the same.

In case of nighttime messes, just remove the top two layers, and voila, a clean bed!

Also, keeping a towel and a bucket on the floor for potential vomiting episodes can simplify clean-up and protect your floor.

Veggie-Packed Breakfast Egg Bars

Ready to jazz up your breakfast game while sneaking in some veggies for the little ones?

Our Broccoli and Zucchini Egg Bars are here to make your mornings a whole lot yummier and healthier.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup chopped broccoli

• 1 medium zucchini

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon flour

• 2 ounces cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Prep the Veggies: Chop up that broccoli into cute little florets and grate your zucchini. Pop them into a medium skillet with some olive oil, and cook until the broccoli is a vibrant green and soft.

2. Mix it Up: Grab a bowl and whisk together the eggs, oregano, salt, flour, and some mouthwatering grated cheddar. Now, stir in those delicious veggies.

3. Bake and Enjoy: Pour your mixture into a prepped 8x8 inch baking dish and let it bake for 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve up some breakfast magic, still warm!

Eggstra Tips

• Looking for a protein-rich breakfast? Remember, both egg white and yolk contain protein, but the yolk is the superstar if you're after vitamins A, B12, D, calcium, folate, and omega-3s.

• Make a double batch and freeze extras for super quick breakfasts on busy mornings.

Let's face it, getting kids to eat veggies can be tougher than a 2-year-old's tantrum.

But with these handy Breakfast Egg Bars, you're set to conquer the day while your kids munch on a delicious, nutrient-packed breakfast. 

And remember, if anyone asks, it's just a yummy egg bar - those veggies can be our little secret.

Enjoy your mornings, mamas!
